CHAPTER 31: THE PAIN THAT ISN’T MINE

CHAPTER 31RAVEN’S POVWhen I woke, Mira let me know that the assessment had already begun.After last night encounter with Damien, it didn’t seem like we had a throne to fight each other for—although that still seemed to be the case.Last night, Damien showed a vulnerable side of himself, a side I knew I wouldn’t get to see often. It showed me that Damien was like any other human and was just raised to be the strong, hard monster his father was shaping him to be.I didn’t want him—or—the others to get hurt. According to what Mira said, they didn’t have to win; they just had to survive. And although I knew how impossible it seemed to want them not to win, because in every fight like this there was always someone that cared far more about winning than surviving.Mira had other things to do, so I was alone in my room and I used it as an opportunity to look through Nan’s journal.Joey,I had my doubts. I knew she wasn’t human or at least I knew she

CHAPTER 32: DRAWN BY THE ACHE

CHAPTER 32 RAVEN’S POVI had drifted off to sleep. I didn’t know how long I had been asleep when the pain dragged me back toward consciousness. My body felt wrong—heavy, aching—and I knew I was getting pale even before I touched my face.Mira’s voice pulled me fully awake. It was dark, which meant it was night.“Raven, wake up,” she said.“I’m awake,” I murmured. “What’s wrong?”I felt better after waking up the pain was still there but it was mild.“They are back.”Relief washed over me. I didn’t know how scared and panicked I felt until I heard those words come out of her mouth.“Where is he?” I asked.“Orion?”“No. Not Orion,” I said sharply. “Damien.”“In his room. He is probably asleep already. Rowan said he got hurt he had to see the healer. Maybe you should see him tomorrow,” she said gently.“I won’t wake him up, I just want to see that he is okay,” I said getting out of bed.“He is fine,” Mira said, as she came

CHAPTER 33: SHARED WARMTH.

CHAPTER 33RAVEN’S POV I woke up to the bright light that seeped into the room from the window.For a moment, where I was felt strange until I remembered the events of last night and felt Damien’s slow, steady heart against my ear.I looked up at him. He looked entirely peaceful, like he wasn’t hurt at all. My heart broke a little knowing that he had to go through that pain.I needed to leave. I didn’t want Mira knowing I didn’t return to the room last night.At this point, I couldn’t decipher whether I hated Damien or cared about him.I got out of bed as quietly as I could and left his room***When I got back to my room, Mira was already there cleaning. “Good morning Raven,” she said the minute she noticed i was in.“Good morning,” I replied.“How did you sleep,” she asked dryly.“Good.”“Hmmmmmm,” she said.“Just ask what you want to ask Mira, I can’t have this—it’s awkward,” I snapped.“So if I ask, would yo

CHAPTER 34: CONSEQUENCES OF THE BOND UNNAMED.

CHAPTER 34DAMIEN’S POVI woke up to see Rowan already in my room, seated in front of the mirror.“Did Raven spend the night here?”“Good morning to you too,” I replied him. Completely ignoring the fact that he had just indicated Raven slept here. Was she still in bed when he came in?“Answer me, Damien,” he said.“How long have you been here?” I asked.“A few minutes. But does it matter? You are not answering my questions,” he replied.“What do you want to know?” I asked, making an attempt to sit up.“Did she sleep here?” “Yes.” “Are you guys friends now?” He asked.“I don’t think we can be friends, Rowan but we can be in the same room and not kill each other for a few hours,” I said.“It’s nice to see you guys being civil,” he said.“Hmmmm…how did you know she slept here?” I asked.“I saw her coming out of you room. I wanted to come see how you were doing. How are you?”“Fine. It still hurts a bit, though. I wa

CHAPTER 35: ACCUSATION AND ACHES.

CHAPTER 35RAVEN’S POVI grabbed the tray where I had placed the hot cream buns and made my way to Damien’s room. On getting there Vera immediately jumped onto the bed, while Rowan stood by the window, arms crossed. The atmosphere was off—tense. Damien looked upset… or angry. I couldn’t tell.“I don’t want it,” he said sharply.“Why?” I asked, concern tightening my chest.“I just don’t want it,” he replied, his tone clipped.The moment grew awkward, thick with unspoken tension, and I decided not to push.“She asked nicely,” Rowan said, his voice firm. “You could’ve at least answered her nicely too.”I couldn’t wrap my head around Damien’s behavior. Why was he acting like this? I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t hear it at first—until Vera gagged.Then she threw up.Damien shot to his feet instantly, instinctively moving to rush to her side, but the moment he shifted, he froze. A sharp pain tore through me, sudden and brutal, and f

CHAPTER 36: WHEN THE PACK FALLS OUT OF BALANCE

CHAPTER 36DAMIEN’S POVIt had been five days since Vera’s sickness began.Five days of watching the color drain from her face.Five days of barely touching food, of sleeping more than she was awake.Five days of standing helplessly beside her bed, pretending I wasn’t terrified.She grew paler by the hour.And in those same five days, I hadn’t seen Raven once.Not a glimpse of her in the halls. Not a quiet appearance at Vera’s bedside. Nothing.I told myself there was no way she could have hurt Vera. I repeated it like a mantra, like saying it enough times would make it absolute truth.But doubt is a vicious thing.It crawled in when the nights grew quiet.It whispered when Vera cried out in pain.It fed on everything I didn’t know.How could she be the next alpha when she hadn’t even emerged yet?She could be an omega, and yet she was a threat to the throne that belonged me.Due to Vera’s illness, I hadn’t been ab

CHAPTER 37: SEEKING ANSWERS.

CHAPTER 37RAVEN’S POVI spent the next five days drowning myself in books and self pity, wondering how Vera was, how Damien wss handling it, and whether he was holding himself together at all.I could feel every hurt and fear from him, like distant echoes pressing against my chest. Even when I tried to focus, when I forced myself to read line after line, his pain slipped through the bond and settled in me. It made breathing harder.The books in the library hadn’t said anything about Moonsworn healers. Not truly. It was as though the knowledge had been deliberately erased, scrubbed from history and hidden behind half-truths. Every reference was vague, incomplete, or ended abruptly, as if someone had decided that this was information no one was ever meant to fully understand.The only thing I could find were what Moonsworn healers were, and what they were capable of—and that was already information Orion and Rowan had already given me. Nothing new. Nothing u

CHAPTER 38: A TEST WRITTEN IN BLOOD.

CHAPTER 38DAMIEN’S POVLast night I brought Vera back to the palace without anyone know where I had gone—or where I had taken her.The corridors were quiet, the guards distracted, their attention dulled by the coming assessment. Tradition always did that—blinded people, softened their instincts. No one questioned me as I slipped through the halls with Vera pressed to my chest, her body too light, her breathing too shallow.She felt fragile. Breakable.The words of the healer stayed with me through the night and bled into the day, clinging to my thoughts no matter how hard I tried to push them away.If Vera was just the starting point, how many more people were going to get hurt?How many more children would fall sick without explanation?How many more wolves—too young, too old, too weak—would suffer because something fundamental had been thrown out of balance?The thought made my chest tighten until breathing felt like work.I needed to talk

CHAPTER 39: AN ALPHA UNEMERGED.

CHAPTER 39RAVEN’S POVWhy?How could they?She was small. Just hungry.I couldn’t contain it. My heart so much. I should have found a way to feed her, even if it meant going back the next day to look for her.Even if it meant taking food from the palace kitchens myself.I shouldn’t have left.She was Taren sister. What was she doing in the slums?I was in my room. I had collapsed onto the floor, crying, shaking, it hurt everywhere. Everything hurt.How evil could these people be?They laughed. The assessment made them happy. Seeing someone from slum killed made them excited.I couldn’t lead a pack like this.What kind of pack let children starve while nobles sat in stone seats and clapped at their deaths?A pack that separated themselves according to how strong they were. A pack that decided who deserved to live based on power.I wasn’t even a strong wolf—did that mean that if they knew, I could be killed too.I couldn

CHAPTER 40: WHEN THE WOLF BREAKS FREE.

CHAPTER 40DAMIEN’S POVI had had enough of Raven. She had no right. That woman lost her son—did that mean we were going to lose Vera as well? So when the guards came in to tell me about Vera, I lost my cool.I lost everything.She was worse when I got to her room.Thin.Weaker.She could barely keep her eyes open.I was angry.How?Raven had said I was exactly like my father—that I killed those in the slums by not helping them—but she was not any better. It was her fault that the woman’s son died, and now. Vera was going to die too.Vera had asked to see me. That was why the guard came to call for me, but Eldric words were what pushed me over the edge.“Ophelia, why is your daughter so weak? It might be best to keep her away from the palace. We don’t want rumors to spread.”She was his flesh and blood. How could he use his words to hurt—Vera and even Ophelia, his wife.“You think this is her fault?” I snapped at
